confidence?
Yang Zhen can lack many things, but he cannot lack self-confidence.
Those who cause trouble at National Cheng Kung University must have confidence.
Seeing the amused look on the face of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness, Yang Zhen curled his lip. What's so great about him? A dignified Great Emperor, yet he's still here bowing and scraping.
Rumble!
A terrifying shockwave erupted in mid-air. Yang Zhen couldn't see it, but he could feel the intense aura of the Principle of Heaven and Earth in the air.
The black clouds filled the air with a terrifying, world-destroying aura.
Beneath the dark clouds, black lightning surged and tumbled wildly, rising and falling like a swimming dragon.
In the mountains, everything seemed to be shrouded in thunder, even the trees were struck by endless lightning, and in the blink of an eye, they were destroyed into dust.
Countless cultivators who came upon hearing the news looked on in shock and disbelief at the mountain shrouded in black clouds.
"Is it another fellow cultivator undergoing tribulation?"
Someone shouted at the clouds in the sky, their face full of admiration.
"This... this kind of power, I wonder which senior is undergoing tribulation here."
"You didn't see it? Over at the Emperor Su Palace, there's a Great Emperor refining the heavens and earth. His power is no less than this."
"Could it be that another Great Emperor is undergoing tribulation here?"
"That should be it!"
More and more people began to gather, their faces filled with excitement.
Great Emperor, who can witness Great Emperor tribulation?
"I've heard that only when the Samsara of Heaven and Earth begins does the Great Emperor emerge to refine the world. Once the World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment Samsara arrives, we will all perish!"
"That's not necessarily true. Everyone is currently searching for the Void Realm. Once the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth arrives, we only need to hide in the Void Realm to escape. The Great Wilderness lineage survived the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth ten thousand years ago in this way."
"It is said that the Great Emperor refined heaven and earth, intending to recruit a group of people to jointly resist the World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment. Many powerful figures have already gone there."
But that's Great Emperor! What kind of powerful figure could Great Emperor possibly take notice of?
They should at least be experts at the Emperor Realm, right?
That's why these people came here.
"If we can gain the approval of this Great Emperor and help him refine the heavens and Great Emperor, perhaps we can also survive this World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment under Great Emperor protection!"
The news of the World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment has spread, and the entire Cultivation World is in a state of panic, to the point where everyone is resorting to their own Divine Ability methods.
In just one day, tens of thousands of cultivators have gathered in the North Isle Mountains.
A Great Emperor is undergoing tribulation here. After the tribulation, he will refine heaven and earth.
The news spread like wildfire, and some sects even began to relocate their entire sects here.
The terrifying shockwaves in mid-air continued; the time it took for this Heavenly Punishment to condense far exceeded everyone's expectations.
On the third day, the Heaven-Swallowing Hou appeared in the sky above North Isle.
"People from the Three Flowers Holy Land, what brings people from the Three Flowers Holy Land here?"
The appearance of the Heaven-Swallowing Hou completely shocked the many cultivators present.
"It is said that Yang Zhen has disappeared, and the Three Flowers Holy Land is now in dire straits, lacking anyone capable of refining the heavens and earth. The people of the Three Flowers Holy Land are searching everywhere for Yang Zhen and the Void Realm. Could it be that they also wish to receive the Great Emperor's protection?"
"That's for sure. Without the Great Emperor's protection, the Three Flowers Holy Land would have perished sooner or later."
When they saw the Heaven-Swallowing Hou appear in mid-air, everyone wore expressions of schadenfreude.
"That brat Yang Zhen was incredibly arrogant, but no matter how arrogant he was, he still obediently disappeared in the face of the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth. Some say he went to undergo tribulation, others say he went into seclusion. In my opinion, he knew he had offended too many people and hid himself before the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth."
The crowd murmured amongst themselves, their faces showing amusement as they watched the Heaven-Swallowing Hou slowly descend.
" Yang Zhen, it must be Yang Zhen undergoing his tribulation here. Damn, this kid has really gone far, actually coming all the way to North Isle."
The Shameless Cat's voice came from mid-air, and the eyes of the many cultivators who were smiling almost popped out of their sockets.
Is Yang Zhen undergoing tribulation here?
Are you kidding me!
Is this a tribulation that can be overcome easily?
Who has ever heard of Heavenly Tribulation below the level of Great Emperor condensing for three whole days?
The next moment, everyone burst into laughter.
The Shameless Cat jumped down from the Heaven-Swallowing Hou and looked at the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable beside him, asking, "What are these people laughing at?"
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable said in a deep voice, "Perhaps something happy has happened."
The Shameless Cat nodded, looking at the black clouds in the sky, and muttered to itself, "Damn it, the World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment. I wonder where that Kid Yang is hiding. But what's the use of hiding? He still has to obediently bear it."
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable gave a wry smile and said, "Yes, I wonder if Kid Yang can escape this calamity."
"That's for sure. This kid wouldn't have chosen this place to undergo his tribulation for no reason. He must be confident that he can succeed."
At this moment, a sarcastic voice came. "Hey you two, are you so obsessed with Yang Zhen that you've gone mad? What merit does Yang Zhen have to attract such Heavenly Punishment?"
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable and the Shameless Cat looked at each other, then asked in unison, "Why?"
"A Great Emperor is undergoing tribulation here!"
With that, the man turned and left, followed by a group of people carrying a pile of jade boxes.
Both the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable and the Shameless Cat could sense the aura inside the box; it was filled with all sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
"Be careful, everyone. These are the most precious treasures of heaven and earth that our sect has painstakingly collected. Whether we can receive the Great Emperor's protection depends on these treasures."
" The Great Emperor has just been born and has already endured such a terrifying Heavenly Punishment; he must be lacking in resources."
"Hmph, those guys from the Heavenly Sword Sect think they can gain the upper hand just because they've acquired a lot of crystals. Little do they know how effective crystals are against Great Emperor Realm Stage expert?"
As the crowd murmured and walked past, carrying all sorts of large boxes, the jaws of both Nine Dragons Saint Venerable and the Shameless Cat nearly dropped to the ground.
"Are these people... stupid?"
The Shameless Cat muttered to itself, then turned to the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable and asked, "Look around, where is that Kid Yang?"
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable, who had been stunned, snapped out of his daze upon hearing the Shameless Cat's words and nodded, saying, "I'll look for it!"
As he spoke, the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable closed his eyes, and his Divine Sense sense spread outwards.
The Shameless Cat looked at the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable with hopeful eyes and muttered, "Are they all dumbfounded? How many people are there? They all want to give gifts to this Kid Yang?"
At this moment, the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable suddenly opened his eyes with a strange expression and said, "Strange, I can't sense any aura from that Kid Yang."
What the heck?
The Shameless Cat was taken aback, looking at the black lightning in mid-air with suspicion, muttering to itself, "Could it really not be Kid Yang?"
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable nodded and said, "Very likely. I am all too familiar with the aura emanating from that Kid Yang. I did not sense his aura within the area enveloped by the World-Destroying Heavenly Punishment."
The Shameless Cat stared blankly at the Nine Dragons Saint Venerable, and the two of them looked around at the crowd, swallowed hard, and said in unison, "Should we prepare something?"
Once underground, Yang Zhen had finished his preparations, he winked at the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness and asked, "Fellow villager, you said... if this place can Opening Heaven, can it also avoid Heavenly Punishment?"
The Great Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness shuddered, staring at Yang Zhen and asking, "What are you going to do?"
Yang Zhen's smile grew increasingly sinister!
